Description
The
Project
Enhancing
Greater
Metro
Manila’s
Institutional
Capacities
for
Effective
Disaster/Climate
Risk
Management
towards
Sustainable
Development
(GMMA-‐READY
Project)
aims
to
reduce
the
vulnerability
of
the
Grater
Metro
Manila
Area
(GMMA)
to
natural
hazards
and
increase
its
resilience
by
strengthening
the
institutional
capacities
of
the
local
government
units
(LGUs),
concerned
national
government
agencies
(NGAs),
academic
institutions
and
civil
society
organizations
to
manage
disaster
and
climate
change
risks.
It
attempts
to
achieve
such
outcome
by:
(a)
assessing
the
GMMA’s
vulnerabilities
to
disaster
and
climate
change
risks;
(b)
developing
and
implementing
priority
disaster
and
climate
risk
mitigation
actions
for
GMMA
such
as
formulation
and
testing
of
an
integrated
contingency
plan
and
establishment
of
early
warning
systems;
(c)
enhancing
the
competencies
of
GMMA
LGUs
and
critical
partners
to
mainstreaming
of
disaster
and
climate
risk
management
(DRM/CRM)
into
local
planning
and
regulatory
processes;
(d)
demonstrating
the
mainstreaming
of
DRM/CRM
into
local
land
use
and
development
plans;
and
(e)
establishing
knowledge
management
system,
including
a
vigorous
Community
of
Practice
(CoP),
on
DRM/CRM.
The
project
was
envisioned
to
achieve
all
the
results
over
a
period
of
three
(3)
years
and
expected
to
improve
mechanisms
and
protocols
on
DRM/CRM.
The
project
covers
Metro
Manila
and
the
provinces
of
Rizal,
Bulacan,
Cavite
and
Laguna.

d. Conclusions,
Lessons
and
Recommendations
On
corrective
actions
for
the
design,
implementation,
monitoring
and
evaluation
of
the
project.
Based
on
the
evaluation
of
the
project,
the
following
conclusions
could
be
derived:
(a)
the
design
of
the
project
is
in
order,
clear
and
logical
given
immediate
objectives;
(b)
some
difficulties
experienced
by
responsible
partners
and
critical
stakeholders
during
project
implementation
(e.g.,
limited
political
will,
limited
support,
indifference
and
reluctance)
are
the
function
of
IE&A.
Given
this,
IE&A
should
be
seen
as
major
entry
point
for
the
project
rather
than
a
result
of
the
various
activities
conducted
and
the
outputs
generated
by
the
project.
Gaining
support
for
and
promoting
ownership
of
the
project
by
agencies,
local
governments,
communities
and
residents
should
be
a
requisite,
deliberate
undertaking
of
this
and
similar
projects;
and
(c)
on
monitoring
and
evaluation,
adjustments
to
work
plans,
and
approvals
thereof,
should
be
documented
in
a
change
log
for
easy
tracking
of
changes
and
deviations.
Hence,
justification
at
the
end
line
would
be
easier
to
formulate.
On
actions
to
follow
up
or
reinforce
initial
benefits
from
the
project.
The
project
was
able
to
accomplish
its
deliverables
and
generated
all
the
expected
outputs.
Some
actions
are,
however,
necessary
to
reinforce
initial
benefits
derived
from
the
project
and
to
ensure
that
the
objectives
of
the
project
are
wholly
met.
These
are:
(a)
approval
of
some
CLUPs
and
ZOs;
(b)
continuous
review
and
enhancement
of
contingency
plans
of
local
government
units;
(c)
popularization
of
the
Guidebook
on
the
Formulation
of
CLUP;
(d)
popularization
of
the
technical
outputs
of
CSCAND
agencies,
e.g.,
hazard
maps
and
the
Atlas
on
the
west
and
east
valley
faults;
(e)
popularization
and
furtherance
of
the
CoP;
(f)
derive
policies
from
DRM/CRM-‐sensitive
CLUPs
and
contingency
plans
CPs)
to
improve
regulatory
4
regime
at
the
local
level;
(g)
engage
communities
in
the
upkeep
and
regular
maintenance
of
CBEWS
and
the
allocation
of
funds
by
the
local
governments
for
the
purpose;
(h)
strengthen
local
DRRM
councils
and
offices
through
regular
capacity
enhancement
programs;
(i)
continuous
conduct
of
IE&A
activities
especially
at
the
community
level;
(j)
undertake
studies
on
the
economic
valuation
of
risk
events
at
various
scenarios;
and
(k)
increase
efforts
on
climate
risk
management
especially
at
the
community
level.
On
proposals
for
future
directions
underlining
main
objectives.
The
following
proposals
are
put
forward
to
improve
the
design
and
approach
of
projects
with
similar
objectives
in
the
future:
(a)
institutionalization
and
strengthening
of
local
DRRM
councils
and
offices
by
providing
adequate
regular
plantilla
positions
and
incentives
to
employees
and
equipping
them
with
facilities
and
equipment
that
are
useful
and
responsive
during
times
of
emergencies;
(b)
assistance
to
local
DRRM
councils
and
offices
on
the
judicious
use
of
LDRRM
Fund;
(c)
review
of
the
Procurement
Law
and
engage
the
Commission
on
Audit
(COA)
to
facilitate
the
process
of
procuring
essential
supplies
and
goods
during
disaster
and
emergency
situations;
(d)
strengthen
regulatory
processes
at
the
local
level
making
them
more
DRM/CRM-‐sensitive;
(e)
increase
participation
and
enhance
capacities
of
private
sector
groups,
i.e.,
business,
academe
and
civil
society
organizations,
in
responding
to
the
challenges
of
disasters
and
climate
change;
(f)
the
national
government
–
through
the
NDRRMC-‐OCD
–
should
create
a
special
project
on
DRM/CRM
that
adopts
and
replicates
the
GMMA-‐READY
Project
in
highly
urbanized
cities
and
other
urbanized
and
calamity-‐vulnerable
areas
and
provide
annual
appropriations
through
the
General
Appropriation
Acts
(GAA)
of
the
country;
(g)
the
government
should
endeavor
to
roll
out
the
processes
and
approaches
employed
in
the
project
in
local
government
planning
and
regulatory
processes;
and
(h)
creation
of
a
National
Disaster
Risk
Management
Authority
(NDRMA),
renaming
NDRRMC-‐OCD
and
further
strengthening
the
CSCAND
agencies
and
capacitating
LGUs.
On
best
practices
in
addressing
issues
relating
to
relevance,
performance
and
success
of
the
project.
Some
of
the
best
practices
that
could
be
extracted
from
the
implementation
experiences
of
the
project
include:
a. Output-‐based
management
and
financing
for
project
components.
This
allowed
flexibility
on
the
part
of
the
responsible
partners
in
adjusting
and
customizing
activities
that
fit
the
requirements
for
the
production
or
generation
of
intended
outputs.
b. Interdependence
instead
of
compartmentalization
of
project
components.
Responsible
partners
worked
closely
together
in
all
components
of
the
project
because
their
inputs
were
deemed
important.
It
promotes
functional
effectiveness
and
cost-‐efficiency.
c. Local
manufacturer
for
CBEWS.
This
lessened
the
cost
of
production
and
manufacturing,
installation
of
and
the
provision
of
after-‐sale
services
for
5
CBEWS.
This
also
allowed
the
development
of
local
innovators
and
scientists.
The
replication
of
these
CBEWS
in
other
parts
of
the
country
would
be
easier
and
less
expensive.

Effective
Disaster
/Climate
Risk
Management
towards
Sustainable
Development
Project,”
most
commonly
known
as
GMMA
READY
Project,
following
a
3-‐year
implementation
period.
By

give
way
for
the
conduct
of
this
terminal
evaluation.
On
March
30,
2016,
the
UNDP
commissioned
the
services
of
a
National
Consultant
to
expedite
the
conduct
of
this
terminal
evaluation.

to
this
report.
1.2
Purpose
of
the
evaluation
The
objectives
of
the
evaluation
are
to
assess
the
achievement
of
project
results,
draw
lessons
and
good
practices
that
can
both
improve
the
sustainability
of
benefits
from

Major
evaluation
activities
To
achieve
its
objectives,
the
evaluation
entailed
the
review
of
documents
relating
to
the
design,
progress
and
achievements
of
the
project;
conduct
of
a
series
of
key
informants
interview
and
focus
group
discussions;
conduct
of
project
site
visits;
and
administration
of
rating
survey.
The
review
of
documents
was
intended
to
check
the
completeness
of
information
and
documents
to
enable
the
conduct
of
thorough
and
evidence-‐based
assessment
of
project
performance.
Indicative
assessment
and
accounting
of
project
targets
vis-‐à-‐vis
performance
were
undertaken.
This
stage
also
enabled
the
identification
of
information
gaps.
Annex
2
of
this
report
presents
the
list
of
documents
reviewed
for
the
evaluation.
The
conduct
of
project
site
visits,
series
of
interview
and
focus
group
discussions
was
intended
to:
(a)
document
physical
manifestations
of
project
outputs
(e.g.,
early
warning
signals
and
devices,
IEC
materials,
etc.);
(b)
gather
additional
documents
on
targets
and
accomplishments
(e.g.,
MOUs/MOAs,
knowledge
products);
(c)
conduct
face-‐to-‐face
interview
with
partners
and
other
collaborators
(e.g.,
non-‐government
representatives
in
local
DRRM
councils)
to
generate
information
on
project
outcomes
and
impacts;
(d)
administer
questionnaires
and
rating
forms
which
are
intended
to
assess
relevance,
efficiency,
effectiveness,
sustainability
and
impact
of
specific
project
interventions
introduced;
(e)
validate
and
clarify
information
from
the
desk/document
review;
and
(f)
allow
specific
groups
to
raise
issues
and
concerns
as
well
as
to
share
best
practices
(procedures
and
processes)
in
implementing
and
executing
project
interventions.
Annex

presents
the
itinerary
in
the
conduct
of
evaluation
activities.
In
particular,
Annex
4
presents
the
list
of
officers
and
staff
who
were
interviewed
and
who
participated
in
the
focus
group
discussions
in
different
areas
and
project
sites.
The
conduct
of
interview
and
focus
group
discussions
was
facilitated
through
a
set
of
guide
questions,
as
presented
in
Annex
5.
A
summary
result
of
responses
to
the
interview
and
focus
group
discussions
are
presented
in
Annex
6.
It
should
be
noted
that
in
the
conduct
of
some
focus
group
discussions,
the
guide
questions
were
sent
18
out
in
advance
to
prepare
the
participants
and
ensure
that
if
ever
they
attend,
they
would
have
something
substantive
to
share
in
the
discussion.
Some
participants
submitted
the
accomplished
guide
questions
while
some
who
were
unable
to
attend
simply
emailed
their
responses
to
the
Consultant.
In
some
interviews,
the
questions
were
focused
on
three
major
items
only,
namely:
(a)
progress
towards
results;
(b)
adaptive
management
practices
of
the
project;
and
(c)
management
arrangements
employed
by
the
project.
The
results
of
the
interview
are

The
GMMA
READY
Project
2.1
Project
description
and
development
context
The
Project
Enhancing
Greater
Metro
Manila’s
Institutional
Capacities
for
Effective
Disaster/Climate
Risk
Management
towards
Sustainable
Development
(GMMA-‐READY
Project)
aims
to
reduce
the
vulnerability
of
the
Grater
Metro
Manila
Area
(GMMA)
to
natural
hazards
and
increase
its
resilience
by
strengthening
the
institutional
capacities
of
the
local
government
units
(LGUs),
concerned
national
government
agencies
(NGAs),
academic
institutions
and
civil
society
organizations
to
manage
disaster
and
climate
change
risks.
It
attempts
to
achieve
such
outcome
by:
(a)
assessing
the
GMMA’s
vulnerabilities
to
disaster
and
climate
change
risks;
(b)
developing
and
implementing
priority
disaster
and
climate
risk
mitigation
actions
for
GMMA
such
as
formulation
and
testing
of
an
integrated
contingency
plan
and
establishment
of
early
warning
systems;
(c)
enhancing
the
competencies
of
GMMA
LGUs
and
critical
partners
to
mainstreaming
of
disaster
and
climate
risk
management
(DRM/CRM)
into
local
planning
and
regulatory
processes;
(d)
demonstrating
the
mainstreaming
of
DRM/CRM
into
local
land
use
and
development
plans;
and
(e)
establishing
knowledge
management
system,
including
a
vigorous
Community
of
Practice
(CoP),
on
DRM/CRM.
The
project
was
envisioned
to
achieve
all
the
results
over
a
period
of
three
(3)
years
and
expected
to
improve
mechanisms
and
protocols
on
DRM/CRM.
The
project
covers
Metro
Manila
and
the
provinces
of
Rizal,
Bulacan,
Cavite
and
Laguna.
2.2
Project
start
and
duration
The
project
was
initially
intended
for
implementation
from
April
1,
2011
to
March
31,
2014.
Inasmuch
as
the
project
was
only
able
to
take
off
from
the
ground
in
2012,
the
end
line
was
moved
to
December
2015,
then,
later
on
extended
up
to
March
31,
2016.
2.3
Problems
that
the
project
sought
to
address1
As
a
country
situated
in
the
Pacific
Ring
of
Fire,
the
Philippines
is
prone
to
the
impacts
of
natural
hazards.
Its
metropolitan
centers
(e.g.,
Metro
Manila,
Metro
Cebu,
Metro
Davao)
with
their
dense
and
increasing
population
and
associated
problems
like
increasing
unsafe
settlements
and
infrastructure,
are
considered
to
be
increasingly
vulnerable
to
the
threat
of
natural
disasters.
Typhoons,
which
visit
the
Philippines
at
an
average
of
20
times
a
year,
cause
considerable
damage
to
properties
and
injury
to
many
people
in
the
country’s
urban
centers
like
Metro

Manila.
Increasing
construction
and
informal
settlements,
including
organic,
uncontrolled
growth
and
development
near
hazardous
areas,
have
also
made
the
mega-‐cities
like
Metro
Manila,
highly
vulnerable
to
natural
disasters.
The
country’s
vulnerability
to
natural
hazards
have
been
recognized
in
the
2004
UN
Common
Country
Assessment
(CCA)
for
the
Philippines,
which
was
subsequently
translated
into
specific
outcomes
and
response
measures
in
the
2005-‐2009
UN
Development
Assistance
Framework
(UNDAF)
and
the
2005-‐2009
United
Nations
Development
Programme’s
(UNDP)
Country
Programme
Action
Plan
(CPAP).
The
risk
of
meteorological
disasters
is
expected
to
increase
even
more
with
the
onset
of
climate
change.
Tropical
Storm
Ketsana
(TS
Ondoy)
simply
underscored
this
fact
when
it
brought
rains
which
caused
massive
flooding
and
unprecedented
damage.
The
climate
scenarios
generated
by
PAGASA
for
2020
and
2050
also
seem
to
indicate
the
probability
of
increased
precipitation
compared
to
baseline
(2000)
data.
Metropolitan
Manila,
with
its
population
of
about
12
million
in
its
636
square
kilometer
land
area
is
considered
the
most
vulnerable
among
the
country’s
metropolis
to
multi-‐hazards,
including
flooding.
As
one
of
the
largest
and
most
complex
urban
regions
in
Southeast
Asia,
it
is
the
center
of
political,
economic
and
cultural
activities
in
the
country
and
host
to
major
government
agencies,
educational
and
cultural
centers.
Through
the
years,
Metro
Manila
has
grown
to
an
agglomeration
of
16
cities
and
one
municipality.
As
is
true
of
many
other
cities
in
developing
nations,
Metro
Manila
has
undergone
a
steady
trend
of
urbanization.
Typhoon
Ondoy
which
traversed
Metro
Manila
and
nearby
localities
was
not
strong
by
conventional
standards
but
managed
to
cause
devastation
at
levels
that
have
never
been
seen
in
the
Philippines
for
a
long
time.
It
caught
Metro
Manila
by
surprise
and
underscored
the
vulnerability
of
the
Metropolis
and
surrounding
environs
to
disaster
risks,
especially
those
spawned
by
meteorological
hazards
like
typhoons.
It
also
emphasized
the
gaps
in
terms
of
disaster
risk
management,
especially
mitigating
measures
such
as
early
warning
systems,
and
operational
integrated
contingency
plan
and
functional
disaster
coordinating
mechanisms
from
the
barangay
to
the
metropolitan
region
level.
Moreover,
PAGASA’s
weather
forecasting
accuracy
is
severely
constrained
by
limited
instrumentalities
such
as
the
very
small
number
of
Doppler
radars
throughout
the
country
including
Metro
Manila.
The
Ondoy
experience
showed
that
an
early
lead
time
for
the
forecast
and
an
appropriate
severe
weather
event
monitoring
system
that
provides
real-‐time
data
could
have
forestalled
the
catastrophe
which
hit
Metro
Manila.
Further,
the
pronounced
absence
of
timely
and
effective
response
simply
showcased
the
severe
lack
of
preparedness
by
the
local
government
units,
including
the
Metro
Manila
Development
Authority
(MMDA),
to
deal
with
large
scale
natural
hazards
such
as
TS
Ondoy
and
forestall
disasters.
Aon
the
community
side,
the
local
populace
didn’t
seem
to
have
been
informed,
much
less
trained,
to
cope
with
this
23
kind
of
situation
or
event.
There
was
confusion
and
even
panic
when
the
floodwaters
started
to
rise
and
spread
because
of
the
continuous
rains.
With
other
natural
disaster
threats
such
as
earthquakes
looming
in
the
horizon,
Metro
Manila
cannot
continue
the
“business
as
usual”
practice
of
not
factoring
disaster
risks
into
its
planning,
programming
and
implementation
activities.
It
is
very
critical
for
the
capacities
of
the
various
development
and
risk
management
actors
in
the
metropolis
and
surrounding
environs
to
be
enhanced
immediately
to
forestall
future
catastrophes,
especially
with
the
projected
impacts
of
climate
change.
Corolarily,
the
capacities
of
national
government
agencies
such
as
PAGASA
and
PHIVOLCS,
among
others,
should
likewise
to
enhanced
to
enable
them
to
supply
the
needed
risk
information
and
technical
advice
to
these
local
actors
in
a
timely
manner
for
informed
and
rational
decisions
in
times
of
emergencies.
In
the
medium
to
long-‐term
periods,
there
is
a
need
to
deal
decisively
with
factors
which
aggravate
the
risks
from
multi-‐hazards
like
Metro
Manila’s
rapidly
deteriorating
environmental
condition,
especially
air
and
water
pollution
and
solid
waste,
among
others.
Socio-‐economic
related
problems
like
the
proliferation
of
informal
settlements
in
danger
zones
and
the
poverty
situation
which
generally
increase
vulnerabilities
to
the
impacts
of
natural
hazards,
should
be
re-‐examined
and
strategies
drawn
up
as
part
of
a
comprehensive
approach
to
Metro
Manila’s
redevelopment.
This
can
be
undertaken
in
the
context
of
preparing
for
coping
with
climate
change
impacts,
solidly
anchored
on
a
vulnerability
and
adaptation
analysis
and
disaster/climate
risk
management
measures
mainstreamed
into
the
LGUs’
comprehensive
land
use
and
development
plans
and
regulatory
processes.
2.4
Immediate
and
development
objectives
of
the
project
Metropolitan
Manila,
with
its
population
of
about
12
million
in
its
636
square
kilometer
land
area
is
considered
the
most
vulnerable
among
the
country’s
metropolitan
centers
to
multi-‐hazards,
including
flooding.
The
risk
of
meteorological
disasters
is
expected
to
increase
even
more
with
the
onset
of
climate
change.
The
GMMA
READY
Project
aims
to
decrease
the
vulnerability
of
the
Greater
Metro
Manila
Area
(GMMA)
to
natural
hazards
and
increase
their
resilience,
by
strengthening
the
institutional
capacities
of
the
local
government
units,
concerned
national
government
agencies,
academic
institutions
and

a. Analysis
of
Results
Framework
(Project
logic
/strategy/Indicators)
The
project
was
intended
to
address
the
capacity
gaps
identified
in
the
project
document,
and
as
discussed
in
item
2.3
in
the
preceding
chapter
of
this
report,
specifically
for
both
at
the
institutional
and
individual
levels
of
key
players
on
DRM/CRM
in
the
GMMA.
By
addressing
policy
development,
planning
and
programming
requirements
of
the
concerned
institutions
and
improving
the
competencies
on
DRM/CRM
of
the
concerned
individuals,
including
community
leaders,
the
project
was
expected
to
put
in
place
a
GMMA
wide
institutional
network
which
is
able
to
address
the
risks
posed
by
the
multi-‐hazards,
including
those
from
climate
change.
The
project
was
designed
to
respond
to
national
priorities
as
enunciated
in
various
development
policy
documents.
Among
these
key
policy
documents
are:
(a)
Medium-‐Term
Philippine
Development
Plan
(MTPDP):
2004-‐2010,
which
outlines
the
importance
of
emergency
assistance
and
disaster
mitigation
projects
and
a
Geohazard
Assessment
Program
to
reduce
risks
and
agriculture;
(b)
National
Framework
for
Physical
Planning
(NFPP):
2000-‐2030,
which
declares
that
permanent
hazard
areas
should
not
be
used
for
any
development
activities;
(c)
Philippine
Strategic
National
Action
Plan
(SNAP)
on
DRR,
which
prioritizes
the
identification,
assessment
and
monitoring
of
disaster
risks,
and
the
enhancement
of
early
warning,
as
well
as
the
integration
of
DRM
and
CRM
in
development
planning
and
decision-‐making
processes;
and
(d)
the
Philippine
Disaster
Risk
Reduction
and
Management
Act
and
the
Climate
Change
Act,
which
highlight
the
need
to
harmonize
DRM
and
Climate
Change
Adaptation
(CCA)
and
mainstream
these
in
development
sectors.
The
project
was
also
aligned
to
the
priorities
of
its
funding
institutions
–
the
then
Australian
Agency
for
International
Development
(AusAID),
and
the
United
Nations
Development
Programme
(UNDP).
Specifically,
the
project
was
meant
to
help
AusAID
achieve
specific
provisions
of
the
Philippines-‐Australia
Development
Assistance
Strategy
(DAS)
for
2007-‐2011.
One
of
the
key
risks
identified
in
the
implementation
of
the
Strategy
was
“natural
disasters
and
shocks
that
set
back
development
prospects,
change
development
priorities,
and
interrupt
implementation
of
aid
programs.”
The
project
was
also
envisioned
to
contribute
to
the
relevant
outcome(s)
identified
in
the
United
Nations
Development
Assistance
Framework
(UNDAF)
and
the
UNDP
Country
Programme
Action
Plan
(CPAP)
by
contributing
to
reduced
vulnerabilities
of
affected
population
and
sectors
through
enhanced
regional
(GMMA)
and
national
capacities
on
DRM/CRM.
It
was
also
intended
to
help
achieve
27
the
country’s
commitments
to
the
Millennium
Development
Goal
(MDG)
on
the
empowerment
of
women
by
ensuring
the
incorporation
of
gender
perspectives
in
its
various
outputs
and
activities.
With
this
as
an
intention,
the
project
is
expected
to
give
emphasis
on
gender
sensitive
concerns
especially
in
the
capacity
building
and
protection
of
women,
including
the
children
and
the
elderly,
in
the
event
of
disasters
and
other
emergency
situation.
The
alignment
of
the
project’s
outcome
with
the
priority
thrust
of
AusAID
(now
DFAT)
and
the
UNDP
could
be
best
seen
in
Figure
2.
Figure

Alignment
of
GMMA
READY
Project
with
AusAID
(DFAT)
and
UNDP
The
project
intended
outcome
“Increased
institutional
capacities
of
key
local
and
national
risk
management
actors
towards
a
disaster
and
climate
resilient
GMMA”
is
fully
and
wholly
considered
in
the
design
of
the
project
particularly
in
the
identification
of
its
five
(5)
major
expected
outputs.
The
achievement
of
the
outcome,
which
is
not
too
far-‐fetched,
would
in
turn
lead
to
the
attainment
of
project
impacts
aligned
to
the
results
that
UNDP
envisions
for
the
improvement
of
the
country’s
management
and
development
of
its
environment
and
natural
resources.
As
further
illustrated
in
Figure
3,
the
immediate
project
impacts
would
lead
to
further
long-‐term
impacts
on
better
management
of
resources,
promotion
on
the
development
and
use
of
sustainable
energy
sources,
and
resiliency
in
dealing
with
environment
emergencies.

Figure

Results
Framework
of
the
GMMA
READY
Project
It
can
be
observed
however
that
the
long-‐term
impacts
of
the
project
would
extend
beyond
better
management
of
the
country’s
environment
and
natural
resources.
Long-‐term
impacts
would
include
physical,
economic
and
social
security
which
would
in
turn
lay
a
solid,
strong
and
robust
foundation
for
sustainable
growth
and
development.
The
design
of
the
project
likewise
clearly
set
indicators
in
measuring
and
ensuring
that
the
intended
or
expected
outputs
are
attained
at
the
end
of
the
project.
Specific
project
activities
revolved
around
these
indicators
for
the
whole
duration
of
project
implementation.
The
indicators
are
simple
and
clear;
hence,
they
adequately
serve
as
guide
and
source
of
direction
in
project
management,
monitoring
and
evaluation
of
project
achievements.

Given
the

indicators
as
well
as
the

of
the
different

plus
other
significant

the
Theory
of

for
the
project
is
thus
presented
in
Figure

It
should
be
noted
that
there
are
six
(6)
items
added
to
the
Theory
of
Change,
three
(3)
were
distinctly
part
of
the
design
and
they
also
have
indicators
of
achievement
(as
can
be
seen
later
in
the

namely:
(a)
assessment

formulated;
(b)

others,
to
wit:
(a)
DRRMCs
strengthened;
(b)
capacity
of
Local

(LPDO)
enhanced
(which
goes
beyond
the
formulation
of
CLUP
and

and
(c)

formulated,
may
need
to
have
indictors
to
ensure
that
the
connection
to
the
intended
outcome
are
fully
achieved.
Note
further
that
this
suggestion
is
only
intended
to
clarify
the
Theory
of
Change
and
the
overall
31
design
of
the
project
and
it
is
not
also
meant
that
this
has
to
be
done
before
the
project
could
be
closed.
Possible
indicators
for
the
three

c. Lessons
from
other
relevant
projects
(e.g.,
same
focal
area)
incorporated
into
project
design
The
project
was
developed
taking
off
from
various
initiatives
introduced
in
the
past.
A
big
chunk
of
the
project
was
derived
from
the
outputs
CSCAND
33
agencies,
individually
and
as
a
group,
most
particularly
in
hazard
mapping
which
was
done
in
pieces
through
the
years.
As
early
as
the
80s,
PHIVOLCS
started
to
produce
hazard
maps.
In
the
90s,
NAMRIA
initiated
the
use
of
remote
sensing
technology
(the
use
of
sensors,
typically
from
aircrafts
or
satellites,
in
obtaining
information
about
areas
from
a
distance)
in
making
topographic
maps
which
PAGASA
then
used
for
hazard
mapping.
Hazards
were
determined
by
the
features
or
key
elements
present
in
an
area.
Hazard
maps
were
produced
in
low-‐resolution
covering
only
a
few
areas.
In
early
2000s,
PHIVOLCS
developed
the
Rapid
Earthquake
Damage
Assessment
System
(REDAS)
through
a
Grant-‐in-‐Aid
(GIA)
from
its
mother
agency,
the
Department
of
Science
and
Technology
(DOST).
The
REDAS
is
a
simulation
software
that
has
the
capability
to
simulate
earthquake
hazard
scenarios
for
any
given
earthquake.
It
allows
users
to
generate
hazard
(ground
shaking,
liquefaction,
earthquake-‐induced
landslide
and
tsunami)
and
risk
maps
immediately
after
a
quake.
Disaster
managers,
local
planners,
and
policy
makers,
who
need
to
include
earthquake
hazards
in
local
development
plans,
are
the
target
users
of
the
software.
The
four
typhoons
that
flooded
parts
of
the
Philippines
especially
Infanta,
Real
and
General
Nakar
in
Quezon,
killing
at
least
1,000
people
in
the
later
part
of
2004
led
the
formation
of
the
CSCAND
agencies
which
immediately
convened
to
help
the
flooded
areas.
The
CSCAND
agencies
started
the
REINA
project.
One
of
the
components
of
the
project
was
hazard
mapping
of
flood,
storm
surge,
landslide,
and
earthquake
in
Quezon
province.
From
the
REINA
Project,
hazard
mapping
scaled
up
to
27
more
provinces,
those
determined
to
be
high-‐risk
were
included
as
targets
of
what
became
known
as
the
READY
Project.
The
provinces
covered
by
READY
included:
Zamboanga
Sibugay,
Rizal,
Zamboanga
del
Sur,
Ilocos
Norte,
Isabela,
Bohol,
Aurora,
Cavite,
Pampanga,
Laguna,
Northern
Samar,
Eastern
Samar,
Zambales,
Antique,
Iloilo,
Ilocos
Sur,
Benguet,
Catanduanes,
Abra,
Quirino,
Agusan
del
Sur,
Nueva
Vizcaya,
Cagayan,
Southern
Leyte,
Leyte,
Surigao
del
Sur
and
Surigao
del
Norte.
The
project
produced
high-‐resolution
(scales
of

such
as
the
European
Remote
Sensing
satellites
and
Satellite
Pour
l’Observation

la
Terre
(SPOT)
or
Earth
observation
satellite.
The
project,
which
was
funded
by
the
UNDP
and
the
AusAID,
determined
the
depth
of
different
hazards
present
in
an
area.
In
the
same
period
(the
first
decade
of
the
21st
century),
the
MGB
also
initiated
its
National
Geohazard
Assessment
and
Mapping
Program
to
prevent
disasters
such
as
the
Cherry
Hills
subdivision
landslide
in
1999.
34
From
indicative
maps
at
a
scale
of
1:250,000
that
determined
which
areas
should
be
prioritized
for
geohazard
mapping
with
the
help
of
Geographic
Information
Systems
(GIS)
technology,
MGB
created
barangay
level
maps
nationwide
at
a
scale
of
1:50,000
showing
the
areas
that
are
susceptible
to
landslide
and
flood.
The
maps
produced
were
given
to
the
local
government
units
for
planning
references
and
were
integrated
with
the
READY
Project.
Also
in
the
same
period,
PHIVOLCS
conducted
tsunami
hazards
assessment
nationwide,
funded
by
the
AusAID
and
released
tsunami
hazard
maps.
PHIVOLCS
also
started
providing
REDAS
training
and
software
to
different
provinces,
cities,
municipalities
and
government
institutions
to
mainstream
disaster
risk
reduction
in
development
plans.
The
READY
hazard
maps
were
also
incorporated
into
the
REDAS
software.
Given
these
initiatives,
the
CSCAND
agencies
started
the
Greater
Metro
Manila
Risk
Assessment
Project
Risk
Analysis
Project
(GMMA-‐RAP),
a
3-‐year
project
funded
by
the
AusAID
through
the
UNDP.
This
project
allowed
agencies
to
create
maps
that
determine
the
depth
of
hazards
present
in
an
area,
the
extent
and
the
frequency
of
hazards,
and
also
the
worst
case
scenario
through
modeling.
Light
Detection
and
Ranging
(LiDAR)
technology,
which
captures
high-‐resolution
images
on
the
ground
is
used
in
data-‐gathering.
GMMA-‐RAP
focuses
on
Metro
Manila
only,
but
also
includes
portions
of
Bulacan,
Rizal,
Cavite
and
Laguna.
Responding
to
Aquino’s
instructions,
the
DOST
launched
the
Nationwide
Operational
Assessment
of
Hazards
(Project
NOAH)
on
July
6,
2012.
The
project
was
designed
to
help
solve
existing
problems
caused
by
ill-‐informed
decision
during
disasters.
The
project
involves
detailed
barangay
level
landslide,
flood,
and
storm
surge
inundation
maps
that
identify
safe
areas
for
people
through
the
use
of
LiDAR
and
Interferometric
Synthetic
Aperture
Radar
(IfSAR)
that
capture
high-‐resolution
topographies.
It
is
through
these
gains
and
achievements
in
the
past
that
served
as
the
foundation
for
the
design
and
implementation
of
the
GMMA
READY
Project.
d. Planned
stakeholder
participation
The
project
was
designed
for
implementation
through
collaboration
of
national
government
agencies,
risk
assessment
agencies
or
the
CSCAND
agencies,
local
government
units,
and
other
professional
and
academic
institutions.
The
OCD/NDRRMC
provided
the
lead,
with
the
PMD
of
the
OCD
as
the
focal
unit
for
coordination
and
operation.
35
Critical
to
the
implementation
of
the
project
was
the
involvement
of
other
CSCAND
agencies.
Without
the
CSCAND
agencies,
the
generation
of
outputs
would
have
not
been
made
possible.
The
CSCAND
agencies
were,
however,
very
grateful
to
the
project
for
providing
opportunity
for
them
to
not
only
contribute
to
the
success
of
the
project
but
also
to
enhance
their
technical
capacities
and
allow
them
to
do
more
than
what
they
could
normally
accomplish
without
the
project.
The
outputs
of
the
CSCAND
agencies
were
used
in
mainstreaming
activities
as
well
as
in
enhancing
competencies
of
selected
agencies,
other
critical
partners
and
local
government
units
–
from
the
province
to
the
municipal
or
city
level
and
down
to
the
community
and
barangay
level.

Arrangement
of
Key
Project
Partners
e. UNDP
comparative
advantage
Disaster
reduction
has
been
a
key
component
of
UNDP
efforts
in
crisis
prevention
and
recovery.
UNDP
first
allocated
core
resources
for
disaster
preparedness
in
1989,
with
an
approved
policy
framework
aimed
‘to
stimulate
the
interest
and
actions
needed
to
create
comprehensive
disaster
preparedness
plans,
36
strategies
and
structures
and
to
promote
disaster
mitigation
activities
within
the
context
of
development
planning
and
implementation’.
The
United
Nations
General
Assembly
has
transferred
to
UNDP,
the
responsibilities
of
the
Emergency
Relief
Coordinator
for
operational
activities
concerning
natural
disaster
mitigation,
prevention
and
preparedness.
Furthermore,
the
UNDP
Bureau
for
Crisis
Prevention
and
Recovery
(BCPR)
has
made
considerable
progress
in
developing
an
implementation
framework
that
adds
value
to
on-‐going
activities
in
disaster
reduction.
While
much
has
been
achieved,
much
remains
to
be
done
if
disaster
loss
is
not
to
jeopardize
the
achievement
of
the
Millennium
Development
Goals
(MDGs).
The
linkages
between
development
and
disaster
risk
are
not
difficult
to
visualize.
Any
development
activity
has
the
potential
to
either
increase
or
reduce
disaster
risk.
Disaster
risk
is
not
inevitable,
but
on
the
contrary
can
be
managed
and
reduced
through
appropriate
development
actions.
The
UNDP
Environment
Portfolio
has
been,
for
years,
supporting
disaster
reduction
initiatives
of
the
Government
of
the
Philippines
at
the
national
and
local
levels.
UNDP
has
been
working
with
PHIVOLCS,
MGB,
PAGASA
and
selected
local
government
units
in
the
following
areas:
(a)
multi-‐hazard
mapping;
(b)
community-‐
based
disaster
preparedness;
(c)
community-‐based
early
warning
system.
UNDP
has,
likewise,
produced
film,
TV
and
radio
plugs
on
earthquakes
and
floods
in
partnership
with
the
Philippine
Information
Agency
(PIA).
In
the
arena
of
disaster
response,
UNDP
has
been
working
closely
with
the
UN
Office
for
the
Coordination
of
Humanitarian
Affairs
(UN
OCHA)
to
immediately
respond
to
communities
affected
by
natural
disasters
(especially
typhoons
and
rain-‐induced
landslides
in
the
past
two
years).
As
an
example,
the
UNDP
with
funds
from
the
OCHA
developed
the
project
entitled
“Strengthening
the
Disaster
Preparedness
Capacities
of
the
Municipalities
of
Real,
Infanta
and
[General]
Nakar”
or
REINA
Project.
The
REINA
project,
started
March
2005,
was
designed
to
prepare
the
community
for
disaster
in
different
aspects.
Specifically,
UNDP
assisted
the
government
in,
among
others,
hazard
mapping
and
establishing
community
based
disaster
management
systems.
Through
the
project,
a
multi-‐agency
group
called
CSCAND,
a
subcommittee
of
the
then
National
Disaster
Coordinating
Council
(NDCC),
developed
the
hazard
maps.
It
is
the
first
time
that
the
three
agencies
–
PAGASA,
MGB
and
PHIVOLCS
–
worked
together
in
developing
hazard
maps.
UNDP
has
been
extensively
involved
in
other
related
projects
that
took
off
from
that
initiative.
37
f. Linkages
between
project
and
other
interventions
within
the
sector
The
project
worked
closely
with
and
complemented
other
related
initiatives
in
the
GMMA.
Overlaps
were
accordingly
avoided
and
duplications
were
adequately
addressed.
A
system
of
complementation
had
been
drawn
up
through
the
OCD
and
the
CSCAND
agencies
such
that
resources
for
the
project
and
other
related
initiatives
were
maximized.
Linkages
and
complementation
between
and
among
the
project
and
other

and
existing

Project
Organizational
Structure
The
Project
Board,
previously
referred
as
the
Project
Executive
Group
or
the
Project
Steering
Committee
or
the
Tripartite
Committee,
was
responsible
for
making
management
decisions
for
the
project
by
consensus,
when
guidance
is
required
by
the
Project
Manager.
This
group
was
consulted
by
the
Project
Manager
throughout
the
implementation
of
the
project
especially
for
issues
and
challenges
needing
decisions
and
directions.
As
designed,
the
Project
Board
convened
at
least
twice
a
year
with
one
meeting
dedicated
for
an
Annual
Review
to
review
the
project
performance
and
approve
project
annual
plans
and
authorize
any
major
deviation
from
project
approved
plans
–
annual
plans
or
otherwise.
The
Project
Board
served
as
the
authority
that
signs
off
the
completion
of
each
plan
or
work
plan.
It
also
performed
oversight
functions.
The
Project
Board
was
chaired
by
NDRRMC-‐OCD
and
co-‐
chaired
by
UNDP.
The
Project
Assurance
(PA)
was
performed
by
UNDP.
Its
main
role
supported
the
Project
Board
by
carrying
out
objective
and
independent
project
oversight
and
monitoring
functions,
and
ensuring
that
appropriate
project
management
milestones
are
managed
and
completed.
The
NDRRMC-‐OCD,
being
the
Implementing
Partner,
was
fully
responsible
and
accountable
for
managing
the
project,
achieving
each
component
outputs,
and
for
the
effective
use
and
disposition
of
project
resources.
The
40
NDRRMC-‐OCD,
through
the
Project
Management
Division
(PMD),
followed
effective
process
and
financial
management
practices,
as
mandated
by
the
UNDP.
The
Responsible
Partners
(RPs)
were
identified
based
on
an
assessment
of
their
technical,
financial,
managerial
and
administrative
capacities
that
will
be
–
and
actually
were
–
needed
for
the
project
by
the
Implementing
Partner
to
undertake
a
particular
component
or
activity
of
the
project.
While
the
RPs
were
made
responsible
in
delivering
component
outputs
and
in
managing
their
respective
activities,
the
IP,
through
the
PMD/PMO,
remained
fully
responsible
and
accountable
to
the
Project
Board
and
to
UNDP.
3.2
Project
Implementation
a. Adaptive
management
(changes
to
the
project
design
and
project
outputs
during
implementation)
Based
on
the
results
of
the
interview
and
focus
group
discussions
conduct,
it
was
reported
that
the
project
was
very
flexible
in
terms
of
phasing
and
timing
of
activities
without
compromising
the
delivery
of
the
five
(5)
expected
outputs.
Likewise,
the
responsible
partners
were
giving
enough
flexibility
and
liberty
to
identify
and
implement
critical
activities.
Throughout
the
duration
of
the
project,
responsible
partners
could
drop
activities
that
are
no
longer
necessary
even
if
they
were
initially
identified
in
the
annual
work
plan
or
they
could
adopt
new
activities
even
if
they
were
not
identified
in
the
annual
work
plan
provided
that
the
implementing
partner
was
duly
informed
and
that
approval
was
issued.
There
were
some
unavoidable
incidences
of
delays
in
the
implementation
of
activities
and
in
the
achievement
of
intended
results
and
specific
outputs
which
called
for
the
adjustment
of
work
plan
and
targets
as
well
as
the
adoption
of
catch-‐up
strategies.
At
the
end
of
the
project,
however,
it
was
noted
that
all
the
commitments
of
the
project
at
the
start
had
all
been
achieved.
Funds
allocated
to
responsible
partners
were
determined
based
on
their
requirements
for
the
generation
of
outputs
and
not
solely
dependent
on
the
requirements
for
the
conduct
of
activities.
According
to
the
interviewees
and
participants
to
the
interview
and
focus
group
discussions,
the
output-‐based
budgeting
for
the
project
could
be
considered
a
major
factor
for
the
success
of
the
project.
While
there
were
several
budget
realignments
done,
the
total
amount
allocated
for
each
of
the
expected
outputs
were
not
affected.
If
at
all,
they
were
very
minimal.
The
annual
work
planning
and
budgeting
exercises
and
regular
meetings
that
the
project’s
implementing
partner
conducted
were
venues
for
adjustments,
monitoring
of
project
performance
and
an
opportunity
for
the
issuance
of
direction
and
guidance
in
succeeding
periods
of
project
implementation.
In
these
sessions,
41
further
clarifications
on
project
details
and
specifications
were
made
which
enabled
all
partners
to
synchronize
and
align
their
activities
to
one
another.
Decisions
were
arrived
at
through
consensus
among
partners
or
through
agreement
between
two
(2)
concerned
partners.
Interviewees
reported
that
the
implementing
partner
has
ably
handled
conflicts
of
opinions
and
disagreements
among
partners
through
informal
conversations
and
dialogues.
Three
(3)
major
factors
that
contributed
in
effectively
managing
project
challenges
were
also
mentioned,
to
wit:
(a)
management
competency
of
OCD,
particularly
the
PMO,
in
dealing
with
problems;
(b)
PMO
served
as
project
coordinator
and
facilitator
rather
than
as
an
oversight
regulator;
and
(c)
PMO
was
very
pragmatic
in
coming
up
with
decisions,
solutions
and
interventions.
It
was
also
reported
that
PMO
regularly
visits
the
partners
for
informal
discussions
on
project
performance
at
agency
level,
for
problem-‐solving
and
trouble
shooting,
and
for
partnership-‐building.
It
was
mentioned
that
these
visits
were
effective
in
boosting
partners’
morale
as
well
as
in
fostering
camaraderie
and
teamwork.
b. Partnership
arrangements
(with
relevant
stakeholders
involved
in
the
country/region)
The
project
was
designed
to
involve
government
agencies,
local
government
units,
local
communities,
civil
society
organizations
and
the
academe
in
the
Greater
Metro
Manila
Area.
At
the
helm
of
the
project
is
the
OCD
serving
as
the
primary
implementing
agency.
Responsible
partner
agencies
are
clustered
according
to
the
five
(5)
intended
outputs
of
the
project.

c. Feedback
from
M&E
activities
used
for
adaptive
management
The
project
has
a
monitoring
and
evaluation
plan
which
was
intended
to
track
the
performance,
progress
and
status
of
the
project
at
various
periods.
Target
activities
and
outputs
were
set
each
year
with
corresponding
indicative
budget
requirements.
The
conduct
of
M&E
was
done
through:
(a)
the
submission
of
progress
reports
by
the
responsible
partners;
(b)
site
or
field
visits;
(c)
regular
meetings;
and
(d)
annual
work
planning
and
budgeting.
Results
of
M&E
activities
were
used
to
adjust
targets
and
as
the
basis
for
the
releases
of
funds
to
responsible
partners.
Adjustments
to
targets
were
made
and
arrived
at
through
a
process
of
continuous
dialogue
and
consultation
between
the
implementing
partner
and
concerned
responsible
partners.
As
mentioned
by
the
respondents,
this
mode
of
transaction
between
the
lead,
on
one
hand,
and
the
participating
agencies,
on
the
other,
had
proved
to
be
most
effective
and
efficient.
It
promoted
trust
and
confidence
from
both
parties.
44
To
resolve
delays
in
implementation,
the
implementing
partner
had
resorted
to
various
modes
and
approaches:
(a)
problem-‐solving
and
trouble
shooting;
(b)
gap-‐filling;
and
(c)
catch-‐up
plan.
While
these
functions
are
traditional
considered
part
of
the
general
concept
of
management,
recent
literature
indicates
that
these
are
some
of
the
evolving
approaches
in
M&E
wherein
problems
in
implementation
are
addressed
and
solutions
are
promptly
adopted.
Rather
than
as
a
one-‐shot
regular
undertaking,
the
implementing
partner
undertook
M&E
on
a
continuous
basis,
not
as
a
deliberate
activity
but
as
a
management
tool
for
the
project
to
achieve
greater
results
and
to
avoid
implementation
slippages.
d. Project
Finance
The
function
of
financial
management
for
the
project
was
performed
by
the
OCD
through
its
regular
financial
and
accounting
system.
It
was
facilitated
by
the
PMD
or
PMO
for
the
project.
As
reported
during
the
interview,
there
had
been
no
major
problems
related
to
the
funding
requirements
of
responsible
partners.
They
said,
in
particular,
that
their
funding
requests
were
acted
promptly
by
OCD.
For
liquidation
and
reimbursements,
they
further
cited
and
commended
the
facilitative
and
responsive
role
of
the
PMO,
without
compromising
existing
rules
and
regulations
in
government
financial
and
accounting
systems.
The
relationship
between
UNDP
and
OCD/PMO
in
terms
of
fund
management
was
described
as
smooth
and
non-‐problematic.
UNDP
was
very
supportive
and
facilitative
on
the
needs
and
requirements
of
the
project.
In
this
project,
OCD/PMO
had
proved
its
unquestionable
reliability
in
handling
funds
for
development
projects.
As
of
the
end
of
May
2016,
it
was
reported
that
the
total
fund
utilization
rate
of
the
project
was
98.84%
with
a
total
amount
of
USD
29,946.14
unexpended
balance
out
of
the
total
USD
2,588,448.91
allocated
to
the
project.

of
the

such
that
requisite

were
put
forward
first.
Based
on
the
design
and
the
actual
implementation,
the
sequencing
of
activities
was
done
for
the
whole
project
first,
then
for
the
specific
output
groups
or
components
second.
It
was
apparent
from
the
annual
work
plans
that
targeting
and
timing
of
activities
was
done
in
the
most
practical
and
operational
sense.
Figure
8
presents
the
interrelatedness
of
the
different
components
of
the
project.
The
conduct
of
assessment
of
disaster
and
climate
risk
vulnerabilities
was,
however,
deemed
to
be
the
priority
to
start
the
whole
project.
From
this,
the
other
components
of
the
project
eventually
followed.
It
should
be
noted
that
component
5
should
and
must
link
all
the
different
components
of
the
project
and
not
to
be
considered
as
their
by-‐product.
Viewed
as
a
continuous
effort,
the
different
components
get
and
provide
information
into
component
5
through
the
Community
of
Practice.
Figure
8.
Entry
and
Implementation
Design
Interviewees
mentioned
that
the
design
and
objectives
of
the
project
were
very
clear
from
the
start,
and
this
contributed
to
the
success
of
the
project
during
implementation.
Some
LGUs
in
Metro
Manila,
however,
mentioned
that
the
project
was
unclear
at
the
start
simply
because
it
a
new
thing,
a
new
one;
something
that
they
were
not
used
to
or
not
familiar
with.
They
claimed,
however,
that
they
eventually
got
the
idea
what
the
project
was
all
about
through
their
constant
participation
and
involvement
in
project
activities,
particularly
the
trainings,
seminars,
workshops
and
writeshops.
They
also
shared
that,
as
the
project
47
progressed,
they
appreciated
the
intentions,
the
activities,
the
outputs
generated
by
the
project,
and
the
benefits
that
their
offices
or
agencies
were
deriving
from
the
project.
f. UNDP
and
Implementing
Partner
implementation/execution,
coordination,
and
operational
issues
There
were
no
issues
raised
on
either
UNDP
or
the
implementing
partner
or
both
on
any
aspect
of
the
project.
Responsible
partners,
however,
shared
issues
that
they
encountered
and
affected
their
involvement
as
well
as
the
performance
of
their
offices
in
the
project.
These
include
the
following:
(i) Reluctance
of
some
local
government
officials
to
participate
in
the
project.
Some
technical
representatives
of
LGUs
in
Metro
Manila
said
that
they
felt
the
reluctance
of
and
low
level
of
appreciation
and
support
from
their
superiors,
and
this
had
affected
their
performance
in
the
project,
such
as
the
delivery
of
outputs
and
participation
in
activities.
(ii) Competing
priorities
and
conflicting
schedules
from
their
offices
vis-‐a-‐vis
the
activities
of
the
project.
Some
representatives
from
responsible
partners
mentioned
that
they
were
unable
to
participate
in
some
major
activities
of
the
project
because
of
their
workload
in
their
respective
offices.
While
they
were
able
to
send
their
alternates
when
they
were
not
available,
they
found
it
difficult
to
ensure
continuity;
hence,
such
affected
their
overall
performance
in
the
project.
(iii) Limited
or
absence
of
regular
plantilla
positions
for
DRRM
offices.
Some
representatives
raised
their
concern
that
employees
trained
do
not
have
security
of
tenure;
hence,
they
could
go
anytime.
This
might
affect
the
sustainability
of
the
project.
(iv) No
additional
incentives
for
personnel.
Most
employees
trained
at
the
local
level
are
on
temporary
or
casual
employment
status;
some
were
hired
on
a
job
order
basis.
As
such,
they
do
not
have
additional
incentives
which
might
eventually
and
adversely
affect
their
level
of
commitment.
(v) Delays
due
to
changes
of
leadership
right
after
the
local
elections
in
2013.
Some
activities
were
held
in
abeyance
because
the
change
in
leadership.
Concerned
LGUs
had
to
orient/re-‐orient
48
their
new
set
of
officials
about
the
project,
and
sought
their
approval
for
continued
participation
of
their
offices
to
the
project.
(vi) Shifting
assignments
of
staff.
Some
offices
encountered
changing
their
representatives
to
attend
project’s
activities.
Relatedly,
they
also
had
to
cope
with
delays
brought
about
by
re-‐training
of
new
staff
to
take
over
vacated
posts
of
re-‐assigned
staff
previously
working
for
the
project.
(vii) Limited
people
support.
Some
local
partners
reported
that
they
encountered
difficulty
in
mobilizing
the
participation
of
people
in
critical
activities
of
the
project
at
the
community
level.
It
was
further
reported
that
similar
situation
was
true
at
the
local
government
level
where
there
seemed
to
have
reluctance
and
indifference
on
the
part
of
some
departments
and
offices
to
participate
in
activities
of
the
project.
(viii) Low
political
will
of
some
government
agencies
and
local
government
units.
Some
representatives
shared
that
the
participation
of
some
government
agencies
and
local
government
units
was
a
mere
token
lacking
with
zest
and
passion.
It
was
also
observed
that
inputs
were
very
minimal
and
unexpectedly
inferior
compared
to
what
they
could
really
provide.
(ix) Reluctance
of
some
agencies
to
share
their
information.
Some
activities
were
delayed
and
outputs
not
delivered
for
some
components
of
the
project
because
concerned
agencies
were
not
willing
to
share
their
data
and
information.
(x) Limited
availability
of
funds
and
policies
that
can
support
the
project.
Some
representatives
raised
their
concern
that
their
respective
agencies
or
offices
could
not
provide
funds
for
their
activities.
In
terms
of
policies,
the
representatives
reported
the
lack
of
priority
thrusts
and
direction
related
to
DRM/CRM
from
their
agencies
and
offices
that
would
support
the
objectives
of
the
project.
Hence,
their
involvement
and
participation
in
the
project
became
limited.
(xi) Internal
inefficiencies
brought
about
by
stringent
office
protocols,
rules
and
regulation
especially
in
securing
travel
orders
and
approval
of
requests
for
specific
staff
to
attend
project
activities.
(xii) Writing
skills
of
LGUs
and
their
willingness
to
write
and
deliver
outputs.
Some
outputs
of
participant-‐LGUs
were
not
delivered
simply
because
of
the
inability
of
LGU
representatives
to
write
49
and
their
attitude
to
learn
and
produce
results,
in
particular,
the
formulation
of
CLUPs
and
Contingency
Plans.
(xiii) Indifference
of
some
communities
on
the
impact
of
the
project.
Some
communities
showed
reluctance
and
doubt
on
the
impact,
effectiveness
and
sustainability
of
the
project,
as
reported
by
respondents.
In
particular,
the
conduct
of
community
emergency
drills
was
not
perceived
as
relevant
in
actual
times
of
disasters.
(xiv) Unavailability
of
some
technical
experts
during
scheduled
training
and
workshops.
Some
trainings
and
workshops
had
to
be
postponed
and
rescheduled
because
of
the
unavailability
of
technical
experts
from
responsible
agencies.
Hence,
delivery
of
outputs
was
likewise
delayed.
(xv) Delays
on
the
“final
delivery”
of
early
warning
devices.
PAGASA
mentioned
that
while
the
early
warning
devices
had
been
established
on
the
ground
much
earlier,
they
were
for
a
time
not
operational
and
functional.
Time
and
again,
PAGASA
would
make
follow-‐ups
with
the
contractor
for
repair
and
to
check
the
installation.
At
the
time
of
the
evaluation,
the
contractor
had
checked
and
fixed
some
devices.
(xvi) Counterpart
funds
of
offices
were
limited;
not
programmed.
Few
offices
and
LGUs
had
limited
funds
to
support
the
project
because
such
had
not
been
budgeted,
allocated
or
programmed.
(xvii) Changing
schedules
of
activities.
Some
representatives
found
it
hard
to
cope
with
the
demands
of
the
project
because
of
changing
of
activities
such
as
trainings,
workshops
and
writeshops.
This
was
compounded
by
conflicting
schedules
they
had
in
their
respective
offices.
(xviii) Activities
were
too
time
consuming.
It
was
opined
that
project
activities
were
too
time
consuming,
almost
eating
much
on
participants’
official
time.
They
said
that
the
project
seemed
to
have
become
a
regular
task
of
their
agencies
or
offices.
Obsolete
and
outdated
equipment
(radio)
of
PNP
for
rescue
and
emergencies.
The
representatives
from
PNP
expressed
the
effectiveness
of
their
equipment,
particularly
their
obsolete
radios,
in
times
of
disasters
and
emergencies.
While
this
concern
did
not
affect
the
agency’s
participation
in
the
project,
it
was
believed
to
have
an
impact
in
ensuring
that
the
project
would
attain
its
outcome.

Project
Results
a. Overall
results
(attainment
of
objectives)
As
of
end
of
May
2016,
the
project
has
significantly
achieved
results
–
both
intended
and
unintended.
Among
others,
the
results
that
could
be
attributed
to
the
project
are
the
following:
(a)
building
of
awareness
on
DRM
and
CRM
at
various
levels
of
governance,
but
most
particularly
at
the
community
level;
(b)
generation
of
knowledge
and
information
which
could
be
used
by
agencies
as
well
as
to
coordinate
efforts
among
agencies
and
other
partner-‐institutions;
and
(c)
enhancement
of
capacities,
especially
of
the
CSCAND
agencies,
MMDA
and
HLURB
in
the
areas
of
mainstreaming
DRM/CRM
in
local
development
plans
and
regulatory
processes.
More
significantly,
the
project
has
achieved
its
set
objectives
and
generated
the
outputs
it
committed
to
deliver
by
the
end
of
the
project.

(S)
Impacts
of
the
project
as
of
the
time
of
evaluation
are
greatly
felt
In
addition
to
the
ratings
provided
by
interviewees
and
respondents,
some
qualitative
information
and
insights
were
likewise
provided.
On
the
outcomes
of
the
project,
the
CSCAND
agencies
mentioned
that
the
project
had
enabled
them
to
do
more
than
what
they
could
normally
deliver
given
the
existing
capacities
of
their
offices.
While
the
outputs
they
generated
for
the
project
are
part
of
their
mandated
functions,
the
project
had
allowed
them
to
fast
track
the
delivery
of
outputs.
Likewise,
they
were
inspired
to
see
the
usefulness
of
their
outputs
for
the
benefit
of
vulnerable
communities.
The
project
also
provided
them
the
opportunity
to
produce
hazard
maps
and
other
information
in
bigger
scales
which
they
thought
are
more
useful
and
relevant
to
communities.
Further,
they
said
that
the
experience
they
gained
from
the
project
would
provide
them
the
model
and
the
right
approach
in
producing
similar
outputs
for
other
areas
in
the
country.
As
for
HLURB,
the
project
had
enabled
the
agency
to
come
closer
to
the
LGUs
which
is
actually
its
mandate.
The
project
provided
the
opportunity
for
HLURB
to
share
its
technical
expertise
and
in
helping
LGUs
prepare
their
CLUPs
and
ZOs,
as
well
as
for
the
agency
to
revisit
and
enhance
its
technical
capacities.
For
MMDA,
the
project
is
seen
as
a
vehicle
for
the
agency
to
revive
its
competencies
in
GIS
application
in
planning
and
decision-‐making.
Moreover,
it
allowed
the
agency
to
brush
up
its
engagement
with
LGUs
in
land
use
planning
and
zoning.
For
local
governments,
the
formulation
of
contingency
plans
enabled
them
to
get
the
seal
of
good
local
governance
award
from
the
DILG
specifically
for
disaster
preparedness.
59
It
terms
of
effectiveness,
efficiency
and
relevance,
the
project
was
seen
as
a
vehicle
in
delivering
what
were
necessary
at
this
time
in
the
most
judicious
and
prudent
manner.
The
production
of
hazard
maps,
the
preparation
of
CLUPs
and
ZOs,
the
installation
of
early
warning
devices,
and
the
review
and
reformulation
of
local
contingency
plans
are
some
of
the
urgent
activities
that
agencies
and
local
government
units
had
been
trying
to
accomplish
yet
could
not
do
so
because
of
other
priorities
of
their
offices
and
their
limited
skills
and
technical
knowhow.
The
project
laid
the
foundation
in
which
critical
follow-‐through
activities
could
be
undertaken.
For
monitoring
and
evaluation
(M&E),
the
project
employed
this
not
only
to
track
the
progress
of
the
project
and
the
performance
of
other
duty
bearers
but
as
a
tool
in
overall
management
of
the
project.
Key
to
the
M&E
were
the
activities
and
outputs
plus
the
budget
allocated
for
each
of
the
components
of
the
project.
Beyond
these,
however,
M&E-‐related
activities
were
done
by
the
implementing
partner
as
means
in
solving
problems
and
challenges
as
well
as
finding
solutions
to
such
even
at
an
agency
or
local
level.
In
terms
of
IE&A
execution,
the
project
ably
developed
a
higher
level
of
awareness
(than
the
baseline)
at
all
levels
–
agency,
local
government,
barangay
and
community
residents.
This
led
to
the
formulation
of
cleared
policies,
action
plans
and
contingency
plans
that
are
responsive
to
disaster
events
and
emergencies.
It
allowed
duty
bearers
to
become
more
aware
of
their
strengths,
their
needs
and
requirements
during
emergency
situations,
and
their
capacities
to
perform
their
tasks.
It
likewise
advanced
their
level
of
commitment
and
support
to
related
activities.
For
sustainability,
the
gains
of
the
project
could
be
replicated,
mainstreamed
and
scaled
up
given
the
following
conditions:
(a)
strict
allocation
and
judicious
use
of
the
local
DRRM
fund;
(b)
institutionalization
of
local
DRRM
councils
and
offices;
and
(c)
continuous
conduct
of
EI&A
activities.
On
impacts,
the
mainstreaming
of
DRM/CRM
in
planning
and
regulatory
processes
opened
other
avenues
to
improve
the
performance
of
government
agencies
and
local
government
units.
Specific
policies
and
regulatory
measures
are
envisioned
to
be
formulated,
issued
and
enforced
in
the
immediate
term,
which
would
in
turn
results
to
the
promotion
of
well-‐being
and
quality
life
for
communities,
particularly
the
vulnerable
groups,
and
to
the
maintenance
and
protection
of
the
integrity
of
the
environment.
60
IV.
Lessons,
Conclusions
and
Recommendations
4.1. Corrective
actions
for
the
design,
implementation,
monitoring
and
evaluation
of
the
project
Based
on
the
evaluation
of
the
project,
the
following
conclusions
could
be
derived:
a. The
design
of
the
project
is
in
order,
clear
and
logical
given
immediate
objectives.
b. Some
difficulties
experienced
by
responsible
partners
and
critical
stakeholders
during
project
implementation
(e.g.,
limited
political
will,
limited
support,
indifference
and
reluctance)
are
the
function
of
IE&A.
Given
this,
IE&A
should
be
seen
as
major
entry
point
for
the
project
rather
than
a
result
of
the
various
activities
conducted
and
the
outputs
generated
by
the
project.
Gaining
support
for
and
promoting
ownership
of
the
project
by
agencies,
local
governments,
communities
and
residents
should
be
a
requisite,
deliberate
undertaking
of
this
and
similar
projects.
c. On
monitoring
and
evaluation,
adjustments
to
work
plans,
and
approvals
thereof,
should
be
documented
in
a
change
log
for
easy
tracking
of
changes
and
deviations.
Hence,
justification
at
the
end
line
would
be
easier
to
formulate.
4.2. Actions
to
follow
up
or
reinforce
initial
benefits
from
the
project
The
project
was
able
to
accomplish
its
deliverables
and
generated
all
the
expected
outputs.
Some
actions
are,
however,
necessary
to
reinforce
initial
benefits
derived
from
the
project
and
to
ensure
that
the
objectives
of
the
project
are
wholly
met.
These
are:
a. Approval
of
some
CLUPs
and
ZOs
b. Continuous
review
and
enhancement
of
contingency
plans
of
local
government
units
c. Popularization
of
the
Guidebook
on
the
Formulation
of
CLUP
d. Popularization
of
the
technical
outputs
of
CSCAND
agencies,
e.g.,
hazard
maps
and
the
Atlas
on
the
West
and
East
Valley
Faults
e. Popularization
and
furtherance
of
the
Community
of
Practice
61
f. Derive
policies
from
DRM/CRM-‐sensitive
CLUPs
and
Contingency
Plans
to
improve
regulatory
regime
at
the
local
level
g. Engage
communities
in
the
upkeep
and
regular
maintenance
of
CBEWS
and
the
allocation
of
funds
by
the
local
governments
for
the
purpose
h. Strengthen
local
DRRM
councils
and
offices
through
regular
capacity
enhancement
programs
i. Continuous
conduct
of
IE&A
activities
especially
at
the
community
level
j. Undertake
studies
on
the
economic
valuation
of
risk
events
at
various
scenarios
k. Increase
efforts
on
climate
risk
management
especially
at
the
community
level
4.3. Proposals
for
future
directions
underlining
main
objectives
The
following
proposals
are
put
forward
to
improve
the
design
and
approach
of
projects
with
similar
objectives
in
the
future:
a. Institutionalization
and
strengthening
of
local
DRRM
councils
and
offices
by
providing
adequate
regular
plantilla
positions
and
incentives
to
employees
and
equipping
with
facilities
and
equipment
that
are
useful
and
responsive
during
times
of
emergencies
b. Assistance
to
local
DRRM
councils
and
offices
on
the
judicious
use
of
LDRRM
Fund
c. Review
of
the
Procurement
Law
and
engage
the
Commission
on
Audit
(COA)
to
facilitate
the
process
of
procuring
essential
supplies
and
goods
during
disaster
and
emergency
situations
d. Strengthen
regulatory
processes
at
the
local
level
making
them
more
DRM/CRM-‐sensitive
e. Increase
participation
and
enhance
capacities
of
private
sector
groups,
i.e.,
business,
academe
and
civil
society
organizations,
in
responding
to
the
challenges
of
disasters
and
climate
change
f. Pushing
further
items
a
and
b
above,
the
national
government
–
through
the
NDRRMC-‐OCD
–
should
create
a
special
project
on
DRM/CRM
that
adopts
and
replicates
the
GMMA-‐READY
Project
in
highly
urbanized
cities
and
other
urbanized
and
calamity-‐vulnerable
areas
in
the
country
and
62
provide
annual
appropriations
through
the
succeeding
General
Appropriation
Acts
(GAA)
of
the
country.
g. Corollarily,
the
government
should
endeavor
to
roll
out
and
mainstream
the
processes
and
approaches
employed
in
the
project
in
local
government
planning
and
regulatory
processes
h. Summing
all
up,
these
proposals
call
for
the
creation
of
a
National
Disaster
Risk
Management
Authority
(NDRMA),
renaming
NDRRMC-‐OCD
and
further
strengthening
the
CSCAND
agencies
and
capacitating
LGUs
4.4. Best
and
worst
practices
in
addressing
issues
relating
to
relevance,
performance
and
success
Some
of
the
best
practices
that
could
be
extracted
from
the
implementation
experiences
of
the
project
include:
a. Output-‐based
financing
for
project
components.
This
allowed
flexibility
on
the
part
of
the
responsible
partners
in
adjusting
and
customizing
activities
that
fit
the
requirements
for
the
production
or
generation
of
intended
outputs.
b. Interdependence
instead
of
compartmentalization
of
project
components.
Responsible
partners
worked
closely
together
in
all
components
of
the
project
because
their
inputs
were
deemed
important.
It
promotes
functional
effectiveness
and
cost-‐efficiency.
c. Local
manufacturer
for
CBEWS.
This
lessened
the
cost
of
production
and
manufacturing,
installation
of
and
the
provision
of
after-‐sale
services
for
CBEWS.
This
also
allowed
the
development
local
innovators
and
scientists.
The
replication
of
these
CBEWS
in
other
parts
of
the
country
would
be
easier
and
less
expensive.

The
objectives
of
the
evaluation
are
to
assess
the
achievement
of
project
results,
draw
lessons
and
good
practices
that
can
both
improve
the
sustainability
of
benefits
from
this
project,
aid
in
the
overall
enhancement
of
UNDP
and
GOP
programming.
SCOPE
OF
WORK
Specifically,
the
terminal
evaluation
should
be
able
to:
1. Assess
Project
Results.
The
final
evaluation
will
assess
achievement
of
the
project’s
objective,
outputs
and
outcomes
and
provide
ratings
for
the
targeted
objective
and
outcomes
and
the
extent
to
which
they
were
achieved.
The
evaluation
will
also
assess
if
the
project
has
led
to
any
other
short
term
or
long
term
positive
or
negative
consequences.
While
assessing
a
project’s
results,
the
final
evaluation
will
seek
to
determine
the
extent
of
achievement
and
shortcomings
in
reaching
the
project’s
objective
as
stated
in
the
project
document
and
also
indicate
if
there
were
any
changes
and
whether
those
changes
were
approved.
If
the
project
did
not
establish
a
baseline
(initial
conditions),
the
evaluator
should
seek
to
estimate
the
baseline
condition
so
that
achievements
and
results
can
be
properly
established.
Assessment
of
project
outcomes
should
be
a
priority.
Outcomes
could
include
but
are
not
restricted
to
stronger
institutional
capacities,
higher
public
awareness
(when
leading
to
changes
of
behavior),
and
transformed
policy
frameworks
or
markets.
An
assessment
of
early
or
emerging
impact
should
also
be
determined,
if
possible.
The
evaluator
should
assess
project
results
using
indicators
and
relevant
tracking
tools.
To
determine
the
level
of
achievement
of
the
project’s
objective
and
outcomes,
the
evaluation
will
be
undertaken
using
the
following
criteria:
Relevance,
Efficiency
and
Effectiveness
The
evaluation
of
relevancy,
effectiveness
and
efficiency
will
be
as
objective
as
possible
and
will
include
sufficient
and
convincing
empirical
evidence.
Ideally,
the
project
monitoring
system
should
deliver
quantifiable
information
that
can
lead
to
a
robust
assessment
of
the
project’s
effectiveness
and
efficiency.
In
rating
the
project’s
outcomes,
relevance
and
effectiveness
will
be
considered
as
critical
criteria.
The
evaluator
will
also
assess
other
results
of
the
project,
including
positive
and
negative
actual
(or
anticipated)
impacts
or
emerging
long-‐term
effects
of
a
project.
However,
given
the
long
term
nature
of
impacts,
it
might
not
be
possible
for
the
evaluator
to
identify
or
fully
assess
them.
Evaluator
will,
nonetheless,
indicate
the
steps
to
be
taken
to
assess
long-‐term
project
impacts,
e.g.
impacts
on
local
populations,
especially
the
vulnerable
like
women,
children
and
the
elderly;
replication
effects
and
other
local
effects.
• Capacity
Development.
The
effects
of
Project
activities
on
strengthening
the
capacities
of
the
IP,
other
responsible
partners,
concerned
peoples’/community
based
organization
(s);
and
concerned
local
government
unit(s)
will
be
assessed.
• Leverage.
An
assessment
of
the
Project’s
effectiveness
in
leveraging
funds
that
66
would
influence
larger
projects
or
broader
policies
to
support
its
goal
should
also
be
made.
• Awareness
Raising.
The
Project’s
contribution
to
raising
awareness
on
environmental
issues,
as
well
as
its
contribution
to
promoting
policy
or
advocacy
activities
and
collaboration
among
communities
will
be
assessed.
• Gender
Mainstreaming.
The
Project’s
contribution
to
mainstreaming
gender
perspective
will
be
assessed.
Financial
Delivery.
The
following
table
should
be
completed
to
provide
a
summary
of
the
planned
and
actual
activities
of
the
project
as
well
as
the
expenditures
up
to
the
present.
2. Assess
Sustainability
of
Project
Outcomes.
The
final
evaluation
will
assess
the
likelihood
of
sustainability
of
outcomes
at
project
termination,
and
provide
a
rating
for
this.
Sustainability
will
be
understood
as
the
likelihood
of
continued
benefits
after
the
project
ends.
The
sustainability
assessment
will
give
special
attention
to
analysis
of
the
risks
that
are
likely
to
affect
the
persistence
of
project
outcomes.
The
sustainability
assessment
should
also
explain
how
other
important
contextual
factors
that
are
not
outcomes
of
the
project
will
affect
sustainability.
The
following
dimensions
or
aspects
of
sustainability
will
be
addressed:
a)
Financial,
b)
Socio
–political,
c)
Institutional
framework
and
governance,
and
d)
Environmental
.
3. Assess
the
Project’s
Catalytic
Role
/
Partnerships
and
Replicability.
The
final
evaluation
will
also
describe
any
catalytic
or
replication
effect
of
the
project.
If
no
effects
are
identified,
the
evaluation
will
describe
the
catalytic
or
replication
actions
that
the
project
carried
out.
Indicators
for
catalytic
or
replication
effect
would
include
partnerships
established,
IEC
activities
carried-‐out,
local
level
acceptance
and
understanding
of
project,
local
level
behavioral
changes,
if
any,
should
be
noted.
4.
Assess
the
Project’s
Monitoring
and
Evaluation
System.
The
final
evaluation
will
assess
whether
the
project
met
the
minimum
requirements
for
project
design
of
M&E
and
the
implementation
of
the
Project
M&E
plan.
Projects
must
have
adequate
budget
for
execution
of
the
M&E
plan,
and
provide
adequate
resources
during
implementation
of
the
M&E
plan.
Project
managers
are
also
expected
to
use
the
information
generated
by
the
M&E
system
during
project
implementation
to
adapt
and
improve
the
project.
The
final
evaluation
report
will
include
separate
assessments
of
the
achievements
and
shortcomings
of
the
project
M&E
plan
and
of
implementation
of
the
M&E
plan.
5. Assess
Processes
that
Affected
Attainment
of
Project
Results.
It
is
suggested
that
the
evaluator
also
considers
the
following
issues
affecting
project
implementation
and
attainment
of
project
results,
when
relevant.
Evaluators
are
not
expected
to
provide
ratings
or
separate
assessment
on
the
following
issues
but
may
consider
them
while
assessing
the
performance
and
results:
a)
Preparation
and
readiness;
b)
Country
ownership;
c)
Stakeholders
involvement
;
d)
Financial
planning;
e)
Implementing/Executing
Agency’s
supervision
and
backstopping;
f)
Co-‐financing
and
Project
Outcomes
and
Sustainability;
and
g)
Delays
and
Project
Outcomes
and
Sustainability.
6. Identify
lessons
and
provide
recommendations
for
future
actions.
The
evaluator
will
present
lessons
and
recommendations
in
the
final
evaluation
report
on
all
aspects
of
the
project
that
they
consider
relevant.
The
evaluator
will
be
expected
to
give
special
67
attention
to
analyzing
lessons
and
proposing
recommendations
on
aspects
related
to
factors
that
contributed
or
hindered:
attainment
of
project
objectives,
sustainability
of
project
benefits,
innovation,
catalytic
effect
and
replication,
and
project
monitoring
and
evaluation.
Evaluator
should
seek
to
provide
a
few
well
formulated
lessons
applicable
to
the
type
of
project
at
hand
or
to
UNDP
E&E
overall
portfolio.
Final
evaluations
should
not
be
undertaken
with
the
motive
of
appraisal,
preparation,
or
justification,
for
a
follow-‐up
phase.
Wherever
possible,
the
final
evaluation
report
should
include
examples
of
good
practices
for
other
projects
in
a
focal
area,
country
or
region.
To
determine
the
level
of
achievement
of
the
project’s
objective
and
outcomes,
the

Evaluation
Consultant
Code
of
Conduct
Agreement
Evaluator:
1.
Must
present
information
that
is
complete
and
fair
in
its
assessment
of
strengths
and
weaknesses
so
that
decisions
or
actions
taken
are
well
founded.
2.
Must
disclose
the
full
set
of
evaluation
findings
along
with
information
on
their
limitations
and
have
this
accessible
to
all
affected
by
the
evaluation
with
expressed
legal
rights
to
receive
results.
3.
Should
protect
the
anonymity
and
confidentiality
of
individual
informants.
They
should
provide
maximum
notice,
minimize
demands
on
time,
and
respect
people’s
right
not
to
engage.
Evaluators
must
respect
people’s
right
to
provide
information
in
confidence,
and
must
ensure
that
sensitive
information
cannot
be
traced
to
its
source.
Evaluators
are
not
expected
to
evaluate
individuals,
and
must
balance
an
evaluation
of
management
functions
with
this
general
principle.
4.
Sometimes
uncover
evidence
of
wrongdoing
while
conducting
evaluations.
Such
cases
must
be
reported
discreetly
to
the
appropriate
investigative
body.
Evaluators
should
75
consult
with
other
relevant
oversight
entities
when
there
is
any
doubt
about
if
and
how
issues
should
be
reported.
5.
Should
be
sensitive
to
beliefs,
manners
and
customs
and
act
with
integrity
and
honesty
in
their
relations
with
all
stakeholders.
In
line
with
the
UN
Universal
Declaration
of
Human
Rights,
evaluators
must
be
sensitive
to
and
address
issues
of
discrimination
and
gender
equality.
They
should
avoid
offending
the
dignity
and
self-‐respect
of
those
persons
with
whom
they
come
in
contact
in
the
course
of
the
evaluation.
Knowing
that
evaluation
might
negatively
affect
the
interests
of
some
stakeholders,
evaluators
should
conduct
the
evaluation
and
communicate
its
purpose
and
results
in
a
way
that
clearly
respects
the
stakeholders’
dignity
and
self-‐worth.
6.
Are
responsible
for
their
performance
and
their
product(s).
They
are
responsible
for
the
clear,
accurate
and
fair
written
and/or
oral
presentation
of
study
imitations,
findings
and
recommendations.
7.
Should
reflect
sound
accounting
procedures
and
be
prudent
in
using
the
resources
of
the
evaluation.

Summary
of
Responses
to
Interview
and
Focus
Group
Discussions
Are
the
objectives
of
the
project
clear?
Have
you
ever
had
any
problem
understanding
it?
• The
objectives
of
the
project
which
are
embodied
in
outputs
1
and
5
of
the
project
document
are
clear.
• Yes.
• The
objectives
of
the
project
are
clear.
We
do
not
have
any
problem
understanding
it.
• Yes
and
No.
No
because
the
support
of
the
Department
for
this
project
is
not
sufficient
because
of
the
funds
that
we
are
receiving
are
limited.
• Clear
especially
the
objectives
of
the
Oplan
Yakal
Plus,
and
the
intents
of
formulating
the
contingency
plan
for
Metro
Manila.
• Everything
is
clear.
• Component
4
on
mainstreaming
is
clear.
• Original
project
document
is
also
clear.
My
agency
signed
it.
• Clear
objectives
of
the
project.
• No
issues
on
the
objectives
of
the
project.
• The
objectives
of
the
project
are
clear,
even
the
community
can
use
the
information
material
easily,
especially
if
they
will
be
aught
on
the
reason
and
the
proper
understanding
of
it.
• The
design
and
objectives
are
clear.
• The
project
drew
the
members
of
the
DRRMC
(for
QC)
closer
and
enhanced
camaraderie.
• At
the
start
of
the
project,
the
project
document
and
the
objectives
of
the
project
were
not
clear,
but
as
time
goes
by,
they
became
clearer.
This
is
because
the
project
is
a
new
thing
to
us
and
to
the
LGU.
• Initially,
it
was
not
clear
and
very
difficult
to
understand.
Eventually,
it
became
clearer
and
easier
to
understand
what
the
project
intends
to
accomplish.
• Not
clear
at
the
start.
• Yes,
but
at
first
it
wasn’t.
Since
we
participated
in
the
project
only
by
2/3,
if
I’m
not
mistaken;
we
won’t
have
any
idea
of
the
extent
of
the
project.
• The
Project’s
(GMMA
READY)
objectives
were
clear
and
we
don’t
have
any
problem
understanding
it.
86
Is
the
design
of
the
project
clear?
• Yes.
• Yes,
the
design
of
the
project
is
very
clear
and
self-‐explanatory.
• Everything
is
clear.
• My
agency
focused
on
the
project
document
for
guidance.
• The
design
of
the
project
is
clear
that
it
can
help
us
(LGU)
to
learn
and
to
make
up
management
plan
before
a
major
incident
or
hazard
hit
a
certain
area
of
our
AOR.
• Yes,
but
only
towards
the
end
of
the
project.
• Having
been
chosen
as
one
of
the
pilot
cities
to
do
the
Mainstreaming
of
DRR/CCA
in
the
CLUP,
it
was
a
bit
difficult
at
the
start
since
the
guidelines
for
the
preparation
was
not
yet
available
during
that
time.
But
as
we
go
along
the
project,
we
learned
to
appreciate
and
understand
it
and
came
up
with
the
expected
result.
Technical
assistance
and
logistical
support
was
provided
by
our
partner
the
MMDA
as
well
as
from
other
agencies
involved
in
the
GMMA
READY
Project.
How
would
you
assess
the
participation
of
your
Agency
in
the
Project?
What
were
the
problems
or
constraints
that
you
have
encountered,
if
any?
• MGB
has
been
participating
actively
in
all
the
activities
of
the
GMMA
READY
project.
Some
specific
setbacks
were
encountered
specifically
logistical
problems
in
the
IEC
activities
but
these
were
all
taken
care
of
which
the
assistance
of
the
NDRRMC.
Problems
in
paper
work
were
addressed
by
hiring
an
assistant
who
was
eventually
absorbed
by
MGB.
• NAMRIA
was
able
to
meet
the
necessary
technical
support
for
the
project,
i.e.,
technical
staff,
training,
and
data.
However,
one
the
constraints
encountered
is
the
availability
of
updated
base
maps
for
the
project
area.
• Our
agency
has
a
very
important
role
in
formulating
this
GMMA
READY
Project,
by
providing
important
data,
information
and
documents.
This
will
help
our
agency
to
prepare
for
the
Big
One,
plan
what
needs
to
be
planned,
involve
our
partners/stakeholders,
and
other
regions
that
will
help/augment
during
said
disaster.
• Constraint:
RA
9184
–
Procurement
Law,
especially
during
actual
disasters.
• Oplan
Yakal
Plus
• Formulation
and
updating
of
the
contingency
plan
for
Metro
Manila.
• Constraints:
Level
of
participation
of
some
agencies
was
low;
there’s
the
reluctance
of
some
agencies
in
getting
their
agencies
involved
in
the
project;
there
was
still
a
need
to
push
them
to
act
(kulit).
• Some
agencies
cannot
understand;
they
want
to
do
things
by
themselves
alone,
even
if
specific
roles
and
responsibilities
have
already
been
delineated.
• Radios
available
at
the
agency
(PNP)
are
limited,
outdated
and
antiquated;
these
may
not
be
able
to
respond
to
the
needs
when
disasters
occur.
• Constraint:
Competing
and
conflicting
schedules,
demands
and
work
at
the
office.
87
• Bigger
scale
of
maps
is
not
available.
This
could
have
made
outputs
more
accurate.
• Collaboration
with
HLURB
in
the
conduct
of
activities
of
my
agency.
My
agency
provided
technical
assistance
in
the
delivery
of
land
use
component,
together
with
HLURB.
We
had
to
divide
the
work
by
chapter
to
facilitate
the
formulation
of
plans.
• At
MMDA,
DRRM
is
still
being
developed.
The
original
design
have
to
be
redone
to
take
into
consideration
the
sharing
of
responsibility
between
MMDA
and
HLURB.
Funding
had
also
been
shared.
• Involvement
includes
participation
in
meetings,
seminars
and
project
activities.
• Direct
encounter
with
NAMRIA
and
other
CSCAND
agencies.
• Constraints:
LGUs
cannot
interpret
maps;
how
to
put
gains
on
the
ground.
• Problem
encountered:
problems
raised
got
no
feedback
from
OCD/PMO;
communication
protocols
especially
with
bosses
for
major
project
concerns
were
not
properly
observed;
sometimes,
agencies
need
formal
communication
from
OCD/PMO
for
proper
channeling,
but
OCD/PMO
preferred
informal
channels,
i.e.,
emails,
which
may
not
be
a
bit
proper
for
key
officials
of
the
agencies.
• There
had
been
delays
in
the
release
of
funds
which
rendered
some
LGUs
and
the
MMDA
unable
to
conduct
their
activities.
• Agency
(MMDA)
used
its
funds
to
support
activities
when
funds
are
not
released
on
time;
there
had
been
occasions
where
funds
spent
by
agencies
were
not
reimbursed
on
time.
• Problem:
the
request
for
salary
increase
of
personnel
came
or
was
given
a
go
by
PMO
much
later;
the
highlights
of
the
meeting
when
this
concern
was
raised
came
5
months
later,
hence,
action
was
delayed.
• By
means
of
a
thorough
IEC
at
the
community
level.
• Problems
are
minimal
such
as
how
to
communicate
to
the
community
on
how
it
would
be
rolled
out
to
them.
• Productive
engagement
in
the
preparation
of
IEC
and
seminars.
• Problem:
how
to
communicate
GMMA
READY
at
the
community
level.
• Agency/office
willing
to
advance
funds
or
use
own
resources.
• Strong
camaraderie
of
members
from
the
LGU.
• Outputs
required
were
delivered.
• Participation
of
the
council
(local
DRRMC)
was
difficult
because
things
were
not
clear.
Schedules
were
conflicting;
difficulty
in
coordination;
no
cohesion;
and
hard
to
incorporate
new
information
and
data
into
existing
plans.
• Difficulties:
formulation
of
plans
with
new
guidelines,
new
set
of
data.
• Formation
of
DRRMC/O
at
the
LGU
is
a
new
thing;
quite
difficult
at
first.
Limited
personnel.
Office
is
yet
to
be
institutionalized.
• Preparation
of
CP
and
CLUP.
• Office
was
engaged
in
meetings,
trainings
and
in
coordinating
activities
at
the
community
level.
• Trainings
done
were
down
to
earth;
rolled
down
to
the
community
level;
appreciation
was
vital,
especially
at
the
homeowners’
level.
88
• Office
was
engaged
in
the
preparation
of
CLUP
and
CP
(LGU).
The
project
(PMO)
has
been
very
helpful
and
facilitative.
Technical
review
of
outputs
was
extended
by
MMDA
and
HLURB
–
they
were
also
very
helpful.
• Hazard
Maps
were
useful
–
they
helped
us
(LGU)
in
getting
a
seal
of
governance
from
DILG,
particularly
for
disaster
preparedness.
• Office
was
engaged
in
trainings,
seminars
and
workshops.
Because
of
conflicting
workloads
of
staff,
different
personnel
were
sent
to
attend
these;
hence,
there
was
a
bit
a
problem
of
continuity.
But
the
good
thing,
more
staff
were
trained.
• Because
the
process
is
new,
staff
were
confused
at
the
start.
• Data
and
information
needed
for
the
preparation
of
plans
were
not
yet
available
at
the
start;
no
basis
yet
for
risk
assessment.
• Work
was
facilitated
with
the
assistance
of
MMDA
and
HLURB.
• Full
support
of
the
office.
• Constraints
and
problems:
shifting
assignments
of
staff.
• Constraining
factor:
long
time
in
securing
travel
orders
at
the
agency
level.
Strict
policies
of
the
office.
• Space
in
the
office
is
limited.
• Budgetary
constraints
in
duplicating
and
cascading
the
project
down
to
the
barangay
and
community.
• Information
constraints
such
as
in
the
flood
modelling,
Paranaque
wasn’t
part
of
the
flood
study.
Like
south
cities,
our
flood
risk
maps
were
not
very
detailed.
But
we
made
po.
• Our
agency
fully
participated
in
project
from
our
top
management
as
well
as
with
all
the
offices/departments
involved.
In
fact,
we
are
very
thankful
for
the
support
we
got
from
the
project.
The
only
constraint
we
have
is
the
time
factor,
like
how
we
were
going
divide
our
time
in
doing
the
project
and
at
the
same
time
in
doing
our
regular/official
tasks.
What
were
the
specific
activities
your
Agency
participated
in
or
outputs
it
has
delivered
for
the
Project?
• 100%
accomplishment
of
outputs
required
(MGB)
• Provision
of
base
map
of
Metro
Manila
and
the
provinces
of
Bulacan,
Rizal,
Laguna
and
Cavite
including
the
validation
of
barangay
boundaries
• Layouting
of
printing
of
hazard
maps
• Provision
of
GIS
training
to
implementing
partners
• List
of
hospitals,
government
and
private
• Policies,
protocols
and
guidelines
• List
of
manpower,
logistics
and
approximate
amount
needed
• List
of
possible
responding
regions
• Earthquake
drills
and
development
of
Oplan
Yakal
Plus.
• Preparation
of
contingency
plan
for
Metro
Manila.
• The
formulation
of
the
quadrants;
engagement
of
private,
international;
89
establishment
of
respond
protocols;
clustering
of
LGUs
and
agencies.
• MMDA
assisted
2
LGUs
for
the
formulation
of
CLUP;
and
assisted
17
other
municipalities
in
some
activities
on
mainstreaming.
The
Guidelines
on
DRRM
was
useful.
• Pilot
LGUs
assigned
to
MMDA
were
selected
through
a
set
of
criteria.
• Constraint:
the
project
demanded
as
big
amount
of
time
to
the
agency;
competed
with
other
priorities
of
LGUs
and
other
requirements
of
DILG;
and
too
difficult
to
participate
in
activities
(workshops)
conducted
outside
Metro
Manila.
• Formulation
of
land
use
plans.
• Formulation
of
supplemental
guidelines
on
land
use
plan
formulation;
provided
assistance
to
LGUs
in
the
preparation
of
Zoning
Ordinances
that
incorporated
DRM
and
CCA;
LGUs
have
to
learn
techniques.
• HLURB
moved
closer
to
LGUs.
• Installation
of
tsunami
sirens;
touched
based
with
the
communities.
• Installation
of
KM-‐CoP
linked
to
150
cities.IEC
caravan.
• Attendance
to
TWG
meetings
and
seminars
and
conduct
IEC
at
the
community
level,
• Formulation
of
different
strategies
that
GMMA
READY
Project
needs.
• Preparation
of
CLUP,
integrating
DRM
and
CRM.
Inputs
on
risk
assessment.
Allowed
innovation
in
the
preparation
of
zoning
ordinance.
• Contingency
plan
completed.
• We
participated
in
the
creation
of
risk
maps
as
well
as
the
hazard
and
vulnerability
assessment.
From
here,
outputs
were
the
contingency
plans
and
comprehensive
land
use
plan
(on-‐going)
that
is
CCA/DRRM
sensitive.
• We
(CPDO)
are
the
lead
department
in
crafting
the
DRR/CCA
Mainstreamed
CLUP
and
Zoning
Ordinance
and
we
also
partnered
with
the
Local
Disaster
Risk
Reduction
and
Management
Office
(LDRRMO)
in
crafting
our
city’s
Contingency
Plan
for
Earthquake
and
Flood.
From
your
perspective,
has
the
Project
attained
its
objectives
and
delivered
its
committed
outputs?
Why
or
why
not?
• Early
warning
devices
were
produced
–
by
Filipino
manufacturer.
• Yes,
MGB
has
attained
its
objectives
and
delivered
its
committed
outputs.
• Yes.
• I
think
we
attained
its
objectives
and
delivered
its
committed
outputs
because
all
of
the
resources
of
every
responding
agency
are
included
in
the
plan
and
they
commit
themselves
in
mobilizing
this
if
needed.
• Coordination/collaboration
is
clearly
indicated
in
this
Project,
as
well
as
who
will
be
the
responsible
and
responding
agencies
and
regions.
• Yes,
it
triggered
the
awareness.
• Yes,
and
it
also
provided
a
learning
opportunity
for
the
technical
staff
of
the
agency,
especially
in
land
use

project.
The
partnership
between
the
GMMA
READY
through
its
partner
agencies
such
as
the
MMDA.
HLURB,
OCD
etc.
and
the
92
LGUs
made
the
project
possible.
The
acceptance
that
we
are
facing
the
“real”
challenge
of
natural
disasters
and
climate
change
and
that
we
have
to
do
something
about
it.
The
willingness
to
participate
in
the
project
and
the
commitment
to
finish
and
implement
the
final
outputs.
What
were
the
hindering
factors
in
the
implementation
of
the
project?
• Inability
of
the
contractor
in
delivering
the
facilities
(warning
devices)
needed
on
time.
• There
were
actually
no
hindering
factors
although
problems
related
to
compliance
were
encountered,
e.g.,
meeting
of
deadlines
for
the
conduct
of
some
activities
or
submission
of
reports
on
time.
This
was
an
effect
of
the
exodus
of
technical
personnel
to
the
private
sector
and
other
government
agencies
during
the
latter
part
of
the
project.
• Sometimes,
CSCAND
staff
are
not
available
during
meetings
and
activities
of
the
project.
• Time
consuming
(need
almost
full-‐time
support)
• The
hindering
factors
are
the
time
schedule
of
each
agency
during
the
workshops/writeshops
and
different
people
attending/representing
during
the
formulation
of
this
project.
• Limited
political
will.
• Insufficient
information
from
other
agencies.
• Reluctance
of
some
government
agencies
and
LGUs
to
participate.
• Weak
political
will
of
some
government
agencies
and
LGUs.
• Bulk
of
work
in
the
office.
Low
level
of
commitment
of
some
people
in
the
office.
• Mode
of
employment
of
personnel
trained
–
job
order/casual
–
50%.
• No
benefits
for
personnel
hired
under
job
order.
• Scheduling
of
activities
–
not
fixed;
changing.
• 10-‐day
rule
for
travel
orders
to
get
signed
by
approving
authority.
• People
support
is
limited;
likewise,
limited
pool
of
experts
to
tap
for
the
implementation
of
activities.
• Too
many
meetings
and
demands
coming
from
the
different
components.
• Writing
skills
of
LGUs
• Delays
due
to
changes
of
leadership
at
the
LGU
level
after
the
local
elections
in
2013.
• Counterparts
of
LGUs
were
not
programmed;
hence,
at
some
points,
not
provided;
some
LGUs
are
resistant
to
cooperate.
• The
only
hindering
factor
is
how
to
make
the
community
believe
that
the
project
will
be
useful
to
them.
• COA
and
the
procurement
process.
• No
additional
remunerations.
• LGU
difficulties:
write-‐up,
will
power
to
do
things
up,
other
tasks
in
their
offices,
not
attentive
during
trainings,
not
too
serious
during
training.
93
• Limited
availability
of
funds
and
policies
that
can
support
the
project
as
well
as
political
will.
• We
would
like
to
think
of
it
more
as
“challenges”
rather
than
hindering
factors.
One
would
be
the
“political
will”
in
implementing
the
project.
Second
is
the
acceptance
of
all
the
stakeholders
once
the
project
is
implemented.
What
mechanisms
that
had
been
or
should
be
put
in
place
or
should
be
maintain
so
that
the
gains
of
the
project
could
be
sustained?
• Continuous
IEC
and
capability
enhancement
of
LGUs
• Continuous
updating
of
the
1:5,000
scale
susceptibility
maps
of
GMMA
• Continuous
cooperation
among
CSCAND
agencies
on
DRRM
projects,
such
as
the
improvement
of
the
REDAS
module
on
floods,
and
later
on
landslides,
and
various
aspects
in
hazard
risk
analysis
(including
exposure
database
development,
vulnerability
studies).
• Science-‐based
V
and
A
(methodology)
to
produce
the
thematic
maps
for
use
by
LGUs
• The
mechanisms
that
should
be
put
in
place
or
should
be
maintained
so
that
the
gains
of
the
project
could
be
sustained
are
regularly
reviewing
and
updating
of
the
plan
(contingency
plan)
if
there
is
a
need
to
amend
or
add
in
the
plan,
especially
the
directory
part;
testing
its
applicability
and
accuracy
during
the
quarterly
earthquake
drills
and
by
giving
copies
to
all
concerned
agencies.
• Regular
practice
and
meetings
and
review
of
plans.
• Outsource
equipment
from
private
sector.
• Enter
into
MOA
with
private
sector
for
the
immediate

of
supplies
during
emergencies
without
necessarily
going
through
the
procurement
process
as
provided
by
the
Procurement
Law.
• Continuous
training
of
personnel
on
rescue
and
evacuation.

• Proper
endorsement
of
outgoing
leadership
to
the
incoming
one.

Commission
of
Audit
so
that
rules
can
be
made
more
responsive
during
times
of
emergencies.
• Dissemination
of
information
and
outputs
of
the
project.
• Provision
of
more

of
LGUs,
and
undertake
revision
when

of
government.
• Inclusion
of
“adaptation
strategy”
as
one
of
the
mechanisms
to
counter
the
effects
of
disaster.
This
should
be
explored,
especially
in
the
guidelines.
• Data
and
information
should
be
shared
through
the
CCC
and
the
ICTO
of
DOST.
• Geo-‐tag
all
information
generated
by
the

of
structures
as
well
as
in
other
related
ordinances.
• Involve
the
office
of

What
mechanisms
that
had
been
or
should
be
put
in
place
or
should
be
maintain
so
that
the
gains
of
the
project
could
be
replicated?

high-‐risk
areas
• “Momentum”
to
replicate
the
production
of
thematic
maps
for
all
LGUs
of
the
country.
• Proper
endorsement
to
the
incoming
new

as
well
as
for
vertical
evaluation.
• Assessing
the
GMMA’s
vulnerabilities
to
disaster
and
climate
change
risks.

beyond
pilot
barangays;
venture
into
new
barangays,
say
5
barangay
each
year.
• Review
of
RA
10121;
inform
stakeholders
on
the
results
of
the
review
and
do
amendments.

the
law
or
policy
to
the
requirements
of

it
is
now,
it’s
very
technical.
• Review
the
modules
of
trainings.
Make
them
more
responsive
and
effective.
• Same
as
above
and
if
possible
project
to
be
mandated
so
as
to
avoid
negative
impacts
of
political
will.
• Accomplishments
made
with
the
implementation
of
the
projects
as
well
as
the
projects
itself
should
be
promoted,
highlighted
and
shared.
It
may
be
done
with
use
of
IEC
materials
or
with
the
help
of
the
quadmedia.
Please
provide
additional
comments,
if
any,
on
any
aspect
of
the
Project,
its
implementation,
and
its
overall
management
mechanisms
and
procedures.
• The
output-‐based
mode
of
implementation
as
embodied
in
the
Memorandum
of
Agreement
among
UNDP,
OCD
as
implementing
partner
and
other
CSCAND
agencies
as
responsible
partners
is
commendable,
and
proved
to
be
effective
in
achieving
the
desired
outputs
of
the
project.
• Seek
means
to
build
back
better
and
fast.
Time
is
of
the
essence
(in
times
of
disaster).
96
• Contingency
plan
is
effective
if
it
could
be
translated
down
to
the
grassroots.
• Consider
the
integration
of
engineering
and
DRRM
• Other
departments
play
a
vital
role;
thus,
they
need
to
be
involved,
e.g.,
DepED
and
DSWD/CSWD,
particularly
in
terms
of
evacuation
management.
• Federation
of
all
schools
with
DRRM
councils;
conduct
of
training.
• Evaluation
of
drills
conducted
in
the
past;
continue
the
conduct
of
training
to
enhance
capacities.
Schools
can
serve
as
evaluators.
• Schools
can
focus
in
the
conduct
of
incident
command
system
training.
• The
project
has
helped
in
the
introduction
of
other
initiatives
at
the
local
level,
e.g.,
local
government’s
implementation
of
pumping
stations,
relocation
of
settlers,
H&V
signals
and
alarm
facilities.
• Vehicles
provided
by
the
project
are
not
used
for
project
activities
or
trips
related
to
the
project.
• We
are
very
grateful
for
the
project
since
it
has
aided
us
in
activities
and
outputs
that
would
have
otherwise
taken
years/decades
to
accomplish.
It
has
given
us
invaluable
report
especially
in
DRR/CCA
initiatives.
We
look
forward
to
other
projects
that
we
may
participate
in
in
the
future.

Annex
7
Consolidated
Comments
Raised
in
the
Interview
A. Progress
towards
Results
• Deliverables
were
completed
although
there
were
several
extensions
in
the
project
implementation
period.
• Although
the
facilities
are
installed
and
tested,
the
MOA
for
maintenance
and
repair
are
beyond.
The
facilities
are
located
in
barangays
and
are
not
accessible
to
municipality
or
MDRRMO
for
maintenance.
• With
the
termination
of
the
project
and
its
sustainability
will
rely
on
the
concerned
LGU,
hopefully
with
its
transition
period
and
even
beyond
can
still
avail
assistance
from
GMMA
READY
or
other
concerned
agencies.
We
have
not
yet
put
into
test
the
capability
or
performance
of
some
installed
equipment,
like
water
level
sensor,
rain
gauges
since
there’s
no
major
disaster
yet
(hopefully
ay
wala
na
nga),
so
we
can’t
yet
attest
to
their
effectiveness.
• Improvement
on
the
data
transmission;
should
be
provided
to
the
local
level
(city/municipality/barangay
levels)
• Monitoring
data
should
also
be
seen
on
internet
and
website
• The
Commission
in
relation
to
other
agencies
still
has
more
work
to
be
sone
in
order
to
realize
its
ultimate
goal
of
having
an
effective
KM-‐COP.
• It
still
needs
to
coordinate
continuously
with
agencies
to
be
able
to
deliver
timely,
relevant
and
accurate
information
to
its
stakeholders.
• Honestly,
project
for
me
did
“exceed”…
• It
is
hard
to
generalize
between
other
project
components.
B. Adaptive
Management
• There
were
delays
in
the
releases
of
few
last
tranches,
despite
follow-‐ups,
and
without
appropriate
advise
from
the
PMO.
• The
“minutes
of
meeting”
to
support
the
increase
in
the
salary
of
Research
Assistants
was
received
almost
5
months
after;
thus,
the
salary
adjustment
was
not
effected
immediately.
• Positive
point
is
the
flexibility
of
the
Project,
in
general,
in
terms
of
“work
program’s
revision
given
the
actual
situation
at
the
local
level
affecting
project
implementation
• The
facilities
are
installed
at
the
barangay
and
not
at
MDRRMO
office.
The
system
must
be
the
possession
of
the
MDRRMO
host.
• Most
of
the
projects
were
all
well
planned,
well
funded
as
well,
constant
monitoring
especially
the
status
of
Contingency
Plan
in
all
LGUs
in
Bulacan.
As
to
CBEWS,
the
equipment
are
not
well
functioning
(sometimes,
there’s
no
reading
even
if
it’s
raining).
98
• Mode
of
transmission
is
centralized
at
the
provincial
level,
access
to
data
nor
the
information
and
monitoring
should
also
be
provided
at
the
city
level.
• The
project
facilitated
convergence
through
the
KM-‐COP.
• Infrastructure
–
webhost
fund
• People
–
CCP
Administration
C. Management
Arrangement
• The
project
must
be
installed
nearer
MDRRMO
for
maintenance
and
inspection
–
for
EC
sirens/early
warning
system.
• Project
management
were
successful,
well
focus
on
the
implementation
and
execution
of
all
projects
in
the
province.
• The
durability,
effectiveness
and
accuracy
of
the
project
is
yet
to
be
prove
since
the
project
is
just
starting
and
no
major
nor
severe
disaster
(typhoon
and
flood)
occur
in
the
area.
• The
PMO
team
constantly
coordinates
to
the
Commission
and
to
all
agencies
so
that
deliverables
are
met.
The
PMO
head
coordinated
closely
with
the
CCC
to
ensure
quality
outputs
are
delivered.

thought
are
